He graduated in fine art from Manchester Polytechnic in 1990. He developed a vigorous en plein air style, and happily interacts with passers-by while at work.
"Working is like being at a party. I need to be at the centre of things," he has said.
"Consciously or subconsciously, what I experience finds its way onto the canvas."
